Re: USB serial adapters?

Hi Lars,

I too am interested in find a working rs232 <---> usb converter. I take it
your post is a clue that the Keyspan devices don't work with OpenBSD.

I have a Belkin F5U109 - sold as a "generic serial to USB for Palm Pilot"
adapter that are found in Office Depot / Circuit City / etc in the United
States of America.  It also does not work.

>From my research, the keyspan is a higher quality device - but I see you say
not supported.  I also see references in the OpenBSD 3.2 source to the
Prolific brand devices.  I see these sell for as little as $18 (the Belkin
sells for $30).  Maybe these work?  I just ordered one to find out :)

I assume you are talking OpenBSD 3.2?

I have an extra Belking F5U109 that I am willing to donate to the OpenBSD
project.  USB hacker interested that I can send it to?  Please email me with
address.

Thanks.

  Stephen

 Hi,

 Is anyone working on support for USB serial adapters, like the Keyspan
USA-19QW? It's on the TODO list in dev/usb.

ugen0 at uhub0 port 2
ugen0: Keyspan USA-19WQ serial adapter, rev 1.00/80.01, addr 3

 (Typo in usbdevs_data.h: it's 19QW, not 19WQ.)
